Intellekt & Dirty Digits – Intellektual Property

Lyrical hip-hop. From Atlanta, Georgia, Intellekt & Dirty Digits bring the brand of lyrical, “hangin’ with your friends” hip-hop that is loaded with pop-culture references, humor, and intricate wordplay. Intelligent lyrics are used to describe mostly everyday events as opposed to deep social or political issues, but with a great flow and a variety of beats and patterns, every song is unique and intriguing. With great chemistry, the two provide catchy hooks and great DJ work, with a perfect blend of scratching, mixing, and vocals; definitely worth checking out and all tracks interesting and enjoyable.
